    MG EV Sales Surpasses Tata Motors – Windsor EV, Nexon EV, Punch EV

    MG Windsor EVWith the launch of Windsor EV, JSW MG Motor India has redefined the electric car space with many innovations. Before Windsor EV, MG Motor launched ZS EV and then Comet EV, both of which contribute to MG’s overall market share in EV space. However, Windsor EV has not only managed to be the best-selling MG EV, but EV in general, sidelining Tata Motors’ offerings.
    MG EV Sales Surpasses Tata Motors
    If there is one brand which democratised EVs for the masses at affordable price tags is Tata Motors. The company held the throne of being the country’s highest-selling EV manufacturer, for a long time. Now, there seems to be a new people’s champion and it is MG Windsor EV, launched in September 2024.
    With the launch of MG Windsor EV, the company took great strides in packaging and marketing and the efforts have paid off. The main highlight here is the aggressive pricing strategy and the innovative BaaS pricing system. If we analyse the sales of top-three best-selling electric cars sold in India since September 2024, we can see a shift in popularity in favour of MG.
    Starting in September 2024, MG sold 502 units of Windsor EV whereas Tata Motors sold 663 units of Nexon EV and 1,025 units of Punch EV. In October 2024, MG Windsor EV had gained quite a lot of traction and is reflected in numbers as it sold 3,116 units, as opposed to 1,593 units of Nexon EV and 915 units of Punch EV.
    MG EV Sales Surpass Tata Motors’
    In November 2024, all three vehicles experienced MoM growth as Windsor clocked 3,144 units, Nexon EV 1,899 units and Punch EV 926 units. December 2024 was the best month for Windsor EV in terms of sales as it sold 3,785 units. At the same time, Tata sold 1,603 units of Nexon EV and 1,653 units of Punch EV.
    Double the sales than 2nd best-seller
    In January 2025, Windsor EV managed to sell 3,450 units, Nexon EV 1,289 units and Punch EV 1,189 units. In total, MG Motor managed to sell 13,997 units, which is almost double the volume of the second best-seller Nexon EV, which sold 7,047 units. At the same time, Punch EV managed to sell 5,708 units.
    With BaaS, MG is offering flexible pricing solutions that significantly reduce the upfront purchasing costs for buyers. Even without BaaS, MG’s prices are aggressive, something which has worked in their favour, especially considering the size and space along with comfort and performance. It has to be seen if Tata Motors come up with battery rental programs like the rumours are suggesting.

    MG Windsor EV Prices Hiked By Rs 50k – BaaS To Cost 40 Paisa / Km More

    MG Windsor EVWindsor EV has emerged as the top selling MG car in India, contributing more than 50% to overall sales
    Launched last year, the Windsor EV has proven to be a goldmine for MG Motor. It is available at an affordable price point and comes with industry-first BaaS (Battery as a Service) ownership option. While contributing to the brand’s overall sales, Windsor EV has also helped increase MG’s market share in the electric segment.
    MG Windsor price hiked (full purchase price option)
    Just around four months have passed since the launch of Windsor EV. Prices have now been increased, indicating that the initial introductory pricing offer is no longer applicable. Windsor EV has three variants, all of which have witnessed a flat price hike of Rs 50,000. The base variant ‘Excite’ is now available at a starting price of Rs 14 lakh. The mid-spec variant ‘Exclusive’ will now cost Rs 15 lakh. Windsor EV top-spec ‘Essence’ variant gets a revised price tag of Rs 16 lakh.
    While prices have been hiked under the full purchase option, it is unlikely to create any major impact on sales. Windsor EV is well-equipped and justifies the updated price range of Rs 14 lakh to Rs 16 lakh. MG is offering lifetime warranty for the first owner, something that is quite advantageous for buyers.
    Windsor EV buyers do not have to worry about things like battery issues and battery replacement costs. Early buyers will also be able to access free charging for one complete year at MG’s public charging stations. This ensures further savings for Windsor EV owners. Another assurance comes in the form of 60% buyback after 3 years / 45,000 kms.
    BaaS Subscription rate increased to Rs 3.9 / Km
    While the ex-showroom prices under BaaS remain unchanged, the subscription price has been increased by 40 paisa per km. The Ex-showroom prices under BaaS are Rs 9.99 lakh for Excite, Rs 10.99 lakh for Exclusive and Rs 11.99 lakh for Essence variant. These prices are the same as earlier under the BaaS ownership model. However, the per km subscription rate has been increased from Rs 3.5 to Rs 3.9. It is to note that this per km subscription cost is in addition to the charging cost.
    It remains to be seen what impact the increased BaaS subscription rate has on sales. Market reports indicate that a significant percentage of Windsor EV sales are from the BaaS purchase model. The BaaS system has proven to be a gamechanger. MG Motor will certainly be keen to ensure that its BaaS program continues to be perceived as the best VFM option in the EV segment.
    While prices have been hiked, there are no changes to the features and specs. MG Windsor EV is equipped with a 38-kWh battery pack that connects to a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. It generates 134 hp and 200 Nm, with power sent to the front wheels. Users can access drive modes of Eco+, Eco, Normal, and Sport. Windsor EV has a decent range of 331 km. Charging is pretty quick with a DC fast charger, allowing users to load up to 80% in just around 40 minutes. More
